A Mission for Excellence |
In 2015, the UP Board adopted a mission focused on bringing a unique experience to the community.

"Creating Exceptional Theatre in the Community Setting"
Focus on ExcellenceThe new mission of the Theatre UP was created with one broad, but important, thought in mind. We want to work with community members to provide our local communities with a cultural and entertaining experience, as well as opportunities to study and train at a professional level. We aim to do this by raising the stakes and our standards to produce the most professional quality productions that a community theatre is able to. This approach will allow us to achieve a level of excellence in all we do and provide our friends and families with many wonderful nights to remember.

Opportunities for FunAt Theatre UP, we are excited to work with people of all ages and with varied levels of experience. We provide opportunities for people who are interested in theatre arts to have a great time creating or working on a project and hopefully learn new skills in the process. Those who have always been excited about theatre but may not have had the opportunity, can work alongside others that have acted, directed, built, costumed etc. both professionally and at the amateur level for many years. We treat the process like we are running a professional theatre, from scheduling, to rehearsal structure, to expectations. This will provide a unique stepping stone for NH talent to explore theatre in a different way: excited to work, excited to learn, and excited to explore.

Audience SupportOur audiences have been so wonderful, supportive, and receptive to the work we have been doing, and we've been so delighted to see our patronage grow. We have opportunities for our theatre patrons to become supporters of our seasons and programs. We will continually provide high quality programming to Northern New Hampshire, and community support will help us to grow in strength, size, and quality. Thank you for helping us to achieve our goal of producing culturally stimulating and highly entertaining programs for years to come.
